Metal-on-Metal Hip Implants

Hip Implant Recall Attorneys

Metal-on-metal hip implants have proven, in many cases, to be ineffective and dangerous. The implants are failing at unexpected rates, causing patients to endure additional surgeries to remove and replace the implant. Furthermore, metal particles from these implants can break apart and be introduced into the soft tissue surrounding the hip joint, causing a wide range of medical problems.

The Dangers Of Metal-On-Metal Hip Implants

A metal-on-metal hip implant consists of a metal ball that rotates inside a metal socket. Traditional hip implants feature a plastic socket. The metal-on-metal contact can cause tiny particles of cobalt-chromium alloy to break free from the implant components, introducing the toxic material into the patient's body.

The resulting medical conditions can be severe and catastrophic. Patients can suffer painful infections, fluid buildup, weakening of bone and cartilage, bone loss, a condition known as osteolysis (the degeneration of bone tissue), and other severe setbacks.

When the bone erodes due to degeneration, it can cause the implant to loosen, causing the patient to suffer injury or require a new hip implant.
